Ryan Busboom homered for the fourth time in four games and Joey Begel allowed one unearned run over eight innings as the Larks run their win streak to eight with a 2-1 win in Liberal Wednesday night.

Begel struck out three and walked just one and improves to 3-2 on the season.

Busboom gave the Larks a 1-0 led in the second with his sixth home run of the season. Tito Andino added an RBI single to make it 2-0.

The Bee Jays scored their lone run in the fourth on a squeeze play but Begel and Colton Reavis, who worked a 1-2-3 ninth for his sixth save, shut them down the rest of the way.

The Larks increase their Jayhawk League lead to three-games with four to play. They are off today before hosting Derby in the first of a three-game weekend series Friday. Admission is free for the 7pm game thanks to the Chestnut Street District and Insurance Planning.
